Getting older, I'm learning to perceive the past with affection rather than nostalgia.
Difficult as it is, it makes aging so much more pleasant.
Since you mentioned Magik 6.... this came out in recent years. Lots of interesting stuff. Such as certain tracks that Tijs played live, that was cut from the CD, left some fans speculating. Magik 6 was so great, along with Magik 7. Actually, the entire Magik series was great imo. in any case, this is the actual raw friend footage of Tiesto mixing Magik 6 live, the exact one for the CD.
i never believed in nostalgia, always knew that if something was good, it's always gonna be good. nostalgia is such a lame term millenials used for everything to dismiss anything good from the past.

haha but I think this time may be an actual different one, compared to the last recent 10 years

are you gen z? how is it possible we have little girls around here. i thought this forum was for "old mfs" lol. either way, gen z tends to embrace old stuff more open minded more than Gen Y at times. (despite some of them not even being born yet). either way, let's spread our senior citizen EDM with all the young generation...... just not the Tiesto way by making "Big Room Trouse" like he did in the 2010s... :haha:

Hearing /reading Tiësto returned to how he got big made me return to TA again. Is this the revival of Trance? :gsmile::gsmile::gsmile:

I found some uploads at soundcloud, all not the best quality. Will check out the youtube links, hoping for some old recorder from back in the days uploads a really high quality version. I'd don't mind getting back to the DC++-hub to get it :-D

Man you're from Amsterdam, definitely Tijs needs to "come home" and play proper trance for his fellow dutch again, doesn't he?! Personally, I am having high hopes for 2026. He played trance twice this year. Back at EDC, if you missed it, he played an "In Search of Sunrise 2025" set at EDC earlier this year. That's two times he played trance sets. After much support, I think he may come back for 2026 my friend. Stay hopeful.

I'm from the Netherlands, not everything over here is Amsterdam :-)
I read about his EDC set. Was delighted to find this set, his latest clublife episode and this EDC-set. Brings me back to my years in Groningen (also the Netherlands ;-)) when I went to his gig in The Palace overthere and just occasionally talked to him after he finised his set and stayed for drinks along with the rest of the audience.
Cannot imagine he would be doing this these days :-)

No way, you drank with him? He must've been very young at the time. Yeah, he'd never do that nowadays.
you also mentioned a club life set he did, was it trance recently?
He starts his return with the same track he started his breakthrough with. Full circle moment.
Also this episode includes insigma -open your eyes.
Such a fantastic track.
Thank you my friend. That's 3 times he's done trance this year. We can only hope he goes hard at it again in 2026

ok
i thought i might have made a gross overstatement earlier in the thread but i still stand by it
i looked at the dreamstate Dj Pluviose posted and went through the tracklist
boys. he's grasping at straws. he's playing "2025" remixes of classics that were awesome. still, these remixes sound horrendous and flat, and he wont commit to just playing the original because he knows he has to cater to the gen/z & millennials that literally give 0 s. It just comes across as so try-hard and inauthentic from my perspective.
set was a snoozer and not even worth it. if he was coming by to play i wouldn't even consider it with whats out there now.
dude just needs to retire at this point tbh, he's cooked
to give you a perfect example
cloud 69
the original has a dope banjo hook that's got two parts, its overlayed with the leads and synth and then it's also isolated to itself to highlight it.
the version he plays gives no respect to the original melody and synth, its just terrible. all you hear is the the 4/4 "2025" edition with maybe a bit of the original element but its clear this is just to make sure everyone rolling can keep their damn feet in a pattern

yeah dude I feel it too. lots of people on reddit were praising it saying it was perfectly modernized, and anyone expressing legitimate critique (like what you said), even some "older fans" were slamming down any criticism saying that "old boomer trance heads will never be satisfied"
my personal thoughts on the set is similar. just what. the. did he do to Suburban Train. and lots of tracks were shortened. my friends who went were not amused that these tracks were cut down to 2-3 minutes.
but there was some good ones. in my opinion I really liked the remake he did on Electronic Malfunction. he added some acid in the tracks buildup which was really nice.
some people believed without a doubt that there is no way you could play the originals in their original form, due to how "old" it sounds, it may clash or sound outdated. but I disagree. the classics still hold up in today's stage setting. take a look at Universal Nation in 2019 in its original form

Like it or not, Tiesto is a major influence/player and what he does gets attention. He can't just go out there playing out the original long ass tracks with huge buildups and not lose part of the audience! The kids can't handle that Full-On Trance experience just yet, you have to ease them in that direction :haha:
